Almost a month after the couple first ignited romance rumors while getting flirty at Rose’s 33rd birthday party, PEOPLE confirms the two are officially a couple.
“They’re solid and in a good place,” a source tells PEOPLE of the duo, who stepped out hand-in-hand in Los Angeles last week. “They’re both very happy with how things are going.”
The romance sparked while Rose, 33, was competing on the latest season of Dancing with the Stars with pro partner Maksim, her new beau’s older brother. (Rose was eliminated during week 6, but Chmerkovskiy, 30, went on to win the season with his celebrity partner Laurie Hernandez.)
Meanwhile, another insider confirms to PEOPLE the two are indeed “dating now” and says Rose, who shares a 3-year-old son, Sebastian, with her ex-husband Wiz Khalifa, is a romantic at heart.
